  • Publication number: 20230141491
    Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor structure including a semiconductor substrate (e.g., a P-substrate) and a symmetric BDSCR. The BDSCR includes, within the substrate, a first well (e.g., a low-doped deep Nwell) and, within the first well, symmetric side sections and a middle section positioned laterally between the side sections. Each side section includes: second and third wells (e.g., Pwells), where the third well is shallower than and has a higher conductivity level than the second well. Each middle section includes multiple floating wells including: two fourth wells (e.g., Nwells), which have a higher conductivity level than the first well, and a fifth well (e.g., another Pwell), which is positioned laterally between and shallower than the fourth wells. By incorporating the floating wells into the middle section, high current tolerance is improved.

  • Patent number: 11397856
    Abstract: A token is extracted from a Natural Language input. A phonetic pattern is computed corresponding to the token, the phonetic pattern including a sound pattern that represents a part of the token when the token is spoken. New data is created from data of the phonetic pattern, the new data including a syllable sequence corresponding to the phonetic pattern. A state of a data storage device is changed by storing the new data in a matrix of syllable sequences corresponding to the token. An option is selected that corresponds to the token by executing a fuzzy matching algorithm using a processor and a memory, the selecting of the option is based on a syllable sequence in the matrix.
